The unification of the four sects was in full swing. Many disciples of the Taichu Sect gathered together and lived near Ling Juefeng to make room for the other three sects. A large number of buildings were quickly built on the "Baihua Prairie"

There are even a few very good palaces. This is the residence prepared for Xuannv Palace, which is enough to accommodate four to five thousand people. On the edge of the "Beast Roaring Forest", many distinctive tree houses and huge wooden buildings have been built.

, this is a settlement prepared for the Sword God Sect, and can accommodate four to five thousand people. Shangqingmen is arranged in the quiet "Seven Jue Valley", where many stone buildings have also been built. This is not all

The largest project was to build a series of military camps in the outer areas of Taichu Holy Land, which were enough for one hundred thousand soldiers to live and train. I had to admire the nine halls at the outer gate of Taichu Sect. More than 30,000 people suddenly appeared out of thin air.

, all kinds of construction work and logistics support work were all taken up by them. Fortunately, Sword God Sect and Xuannv Palace each sent five thousand outer disciples to stand in front, plus more than a thousand outer disciples from Shangqing Sect, they worked together.

With joint efforts, all the construction work was completed within two days.

The next step was to move. In order to ensure safety, each family moved separately. First was Xuannv Palace. Each sect sent a large number of experts. Even the two sect leaders Zhong Lingxiu and Lingkongzi were personally in charge, using all the resources of the four major sects.

The flying ferocious beasts and flying puppets were overwhelmingly transported twice, and it took two full days to complete. As for settling them in, I'm afraid they might not be able to be completed even if they were given two more days. Then they moved.

It's the Sword God Sect. Obviously, their foundation is much stronger than Xuannv Palace. They moved five times, and these were only valuables and necessities. At the request of the Shangqing Sect, they hurriedly evacuated the things they didn't take away a few days ago.

, they also went back to tidy up and moved to Taichu Sect together.

After the move was completed, in addition to the necessary internal staff, internal security personnel and intelligence personnel, all outer disciples were incorporated into the army, with the total number reaching an astonishing fifty thousand people. Since the ultimate goal of cultivators is to attain the Great Dao,

After breaking through the world and becoming a god, this army was named "Tao Army" by the four sect masters. The army is only divided into men and women, regardless of which sect they are from. The casting departments in each sect are working overtime to make the standard.

Armor and military uniforms. Except for the army's chief and deputy commanders, who are Chu Xiao and Yilan, all officers are served by elders from each sect's outer sects. The most puzzling thing is that the chief instructor assigned by commander Chu Xiao

It turned out to be Murong Fei and two little girls from heaven, Ding Ling and A Yao.

Everyone knows who Chu Xiao is, and how powerful he is. There are many legends about him, so no one is dissatisfied with him as a commander. Even Yilan defeated Mu Wushuang, a ruthless character, but these two little girls did

Instructor, many people have some doubts. Zhong Lingxiu once asked Qingyangzi, and Qingyangzi asked her back, who in the sect knows how to lead troops to fight? The other party was speechless. After all, there are only five people with this experience now.

Chu Xiao, Yi Lan, Ding Ling, A Yao, Murong Fei.

The fifty thousand outer disciples are divided into five divisions, each with five regiments. Most of these people can fly, so there is no need to set up cavalry. They are simply divided into infantry regiments and flying infantry regiments. Each division is divided into

Three flying infantry regiments and two infantry regiments. In the initial training, three instructors each led more than 10,000 people and began large-scale drills. Chu Xiao's requirements were very simple, and there was no need to be as professional as real soldiers.

As long as they are taught discipline and obedience, can carry out unified tactical execution, know how to coordinate to kill enemies, and cooperate with some simple group attack tactics, they can have an advantage in the battle.

Ding Ling stood on a high platform, wearing a silver-white "Wings of God" feathered battle armor, with two swords hanging at her waist, and her waist-length hair combed into a high ponytail behind her head. She looked heroic from a distance.

Like a female war goddess, the many outer disciples in the audience were all dumbfounded, and their disdain for the instructor's qualifications just now disappeared immediately.

"She is full of evil spirit. This little girl is so young, but she can have such evil spirit. I am afraid she has killed many people before. Taichu Sect is really a place where dragons and tigers are hidden." The four sect leaders hid in the air and watched in the distance.

As he did so, Qu Xingyang couldn't help but praise.

"She is an orphan named Ding Ling. She was rescued by Chu Xiao a few years ago. She showed her talents in the war between Zhongzhou and the Ya'an Empire. She was cultivated by Chu Xiao to become an outstanding general and led the most elite troops in Zhongzhou's army.

Fight the most difficult battle. Not only does this girl have military talent, but she is also very talented in cultivation. In less than five years, she has been able to practice from the mortal realm to the heavenly realm with few resources. It is very rare." Qingyang

Zi Zi made no secret of his admiration for Ding Ling.

Ding Ling said loudly: "From today on, in addition to being disciples of the sect, you also have a new identity, that is, soldiers of the 'Tao Army'. Maybe you don't know that soldiers and monks also fight for each other."

What difference does it make if you are good at it? I can tell you right now that cultivators rely on their own cultivation and moves to kill enemies. Even if hundreds of cultivators fight in groups, they are still fighting against each other, and there is no difference from fighting alone.

The fighting of soldiers relies on tactics, coordination and superposition of strength. Even a strong man in the sky cannot withstand the attack of more than a dozen ground soldiers who gather their energy together. This is how the soldiers fight, using

Tactics and coordination have the effect of one plus one greater than two. Use the power of the team to crush the opponent's powerful single individuals and groups that do not know how to cooperate. Therefore, in the following training, what you must learn and get used to is discipline.

, coordination and tactics. Next, I will announce the military order!" The military order of the Zhongzhou Army was almost copied. There were ten cuts and thirty punishments in total. It was definitely not a joke. Ding Ling didn't mind killing two of them to scare the others. Yan Ming

Military discipline. The organization that was originally subdivided into regiments was further subdivided by Ding Ling, and centurions and corps commanders were appointed. All soldiers were grouped according to their attributes, and group tactics were taught to each corps commander and centurion. Then the training was

What’s interesting is that you have to stand up straight, stand still, and stand for an hour. It is undeniable that these outer disciples have very strong physical fitness, and every one of them can be regarded as a strong person on the Hengjie Continent.

, but it was very uncomfortable to stand motionless for an hour if the whole body was tense. After a while, sweat appeared on many people's faces. Some people couldn't help but move, and were immediately caught by the supervisory disciples, carrying a thousand yuan on their backs.

Do a thousand push-ups with a pound of stone. In this way, everyone tried their best to hold back, and no one dared to move, not even their fingers.

"The little girl really has a way, but what is the use of standing training?" Zhong Lingxiu asked puzzledly.

Lingkongzi smiled and said: "You don't understand this. The combat capability of the army depends on the discipline of the army. What she is doing is not practicing standing, but the obedience of the soldiers. It is difficult for people to remain calm on the battlefield. Kill the red

When you look at the eyes, the level of soldiers' obedience to orders will be reflected. Otherwise, why did her military order say that those who refuse to obey the orders and those who refuse to retreat will be killed? The first step in this little girl's military training must be to

These people are all in good hands." After hearing this, several sect leaders laughed and disappeared out of thin air, obviously they were relieved.

For more than ten days in a row, the three evil sects were quiet and made no further moves. Chu Xiao thought, maybe it was because the other party had discovered that the four major sects had gathered in the Holy Land of Taichu and were discussing countermeasures. The four major sects sent a large number of

The secret agents are searching for traces of the enemy across the entire continent. Although they may not necessarily be able to find the enemy's lair, it should not be difficult to find some fighters. The training of our own soldiers has begun to bear fruit, especially after wearing standard armor.

It already looks like an elite division. Now Ding Ling and the others are setting attack and defense moves for each team one by one according to their different energy attributes. Once set, they go to an open place to practice. The combined attack will bring

The huge power made these outer sect disciples who were used to fighting alone seem to have discovered a new world. They practiced very seriously and enjoyed it endlessly. The inner sect disciples also began to divide into several combat groups and were ready to set off to carry out missions. For

Chu Xiao is very experienced in using this kind of wolf tactics. He completely copied the operation mode of the Zhongzhou guerrillas and established the combat merit system, mission release system and soldier service center. Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and everyone was working on it.

Looking forward to the arrival of the first battle.

However, the source of the first news surprised everyone. The demon king of the demon clan in Sanjiangyuan contacted Chu Xiao. Sanjiangyuan discovered a large number of people from the three evil sects. Their purpose was unknown, and they were afraid that they might launch an attack on the demon clan.

Attack. Chu Xiao quickly reported the news to the four sect leaders.

"We are looking for them. Since they have appeared, we should naturally go to fight." Zhong Lingxiu said.

"We don't know exactly how many people there are on the other side and who are the strong ones leading the team. We can't rule out that they are encircling the area for reinforcements or attacking in the east. We must be cautious." Ling Kongzi was more cautious.

"Chu Xiao, what do you think?" Qingyangzi looked at Chu Xiao.

"There is no 100% certainty in fighting a war. If we don't go, all our efforts will be meaningless. In order to prevent the other party from diverting the troops from the mountain, I suggest that we only dispatch half of our troops. Marching in batches and multiple routes can avoid being surrounded and calling for reinforcements. As long as

We still have enough reserve troops here in the sect, and information can be shared in a timely manner, so we are not afraid of them attacking in the east. I am willing to lead two divisions and fifty inner sect teams to the rescue, and we will strive to annihilate the invading enemies."

Chu Xiao bowed and asked for his order. The four sect leaders exchanged glances and nodded. "Yes!" Chu Xiao turned around and left the Taichu Heavenly Palace and went straight to the military camp.

In the military camp, an order was issued. Ding Ling and Murong Fei led the flying infantry regiments of the first and second divisions, a total of more than 12,000 people, to immediately prepare for attack. A moment later, in the auditorium of Zitengwu, Chu Xiao made an appointment.

Some palace masters or palace masters who had the final say in each sect were invited to discuss matters.

Facing this dark room of people, no matter which one he picked, he was the top powerhouse on the Hengjie Continent and a very important figure in the four major sects. Chu Xiao turned around and saluted everyone: "The matter is urgent, please invite me."

Senior, please forgive me for being abrupt. On the order of the four sect masters, I will temporarily take over the command of each inner sect disciple squad from today on. This involves tactical training and the issuance of combat orders, so I hope you will hand over the command immediately. The connecting unit is

'Four Sects Joint Operation Command', please report the list and contact information of each team to these four people." After Chu Xiao finished speaking, four people walked out behind him, namely Linghu Shan, a disciple of the Taichu Sect, and Wei Wenxiang, a disciple of Xuannv Palace.

, Ji Chaofeng, a disciple of the Sword God Sect, and Tang Yichen, a disciple of the Shangqing Sect. Needless to say, Linghushan is the captain of the Taichu Sect's discipline brigade and has a good relationship with Chu Xiao. The other three, Wei Wenxiang and Ji Chaofeng, also have a deep friendship with Chu Xiao.

Even Tang Yichen fought side by side with Chu Xiao in the Undersea Temple. To command the troops in battle, Chu Xiao not only needed soldiers and generals, but also needed a headquarters to collect and analyze battlefield information and issue simple orders. And this

The four people came from the four major sects respectively. They were all on the same level, and they were just right to be part of his command team. At the same time, having these four people there also made it easier to issue orders to the troops of each sect.

These palace masters with high positions in the sect are somewhat unhappy because they are being pressed for power. However, this is indeed a special period, and they cannot be the kind of people who are illiterate.

They naturally understood that time was of the essence, and coupled with Chu Xiao's strength, reputation and prestige, they had no choice but to accept that at half-step to the divine realm, none of them had the confidence to compete with him alone.

Soon, Chu Xiao got what he wanted, and then said a few polite words to everyone before seeing him off.

The headquarters officially began to operate. Soon, the fifty inner-sect tactical teams were ready to go. The outer-sect Taoist army was also assembled, and the troops took advantage of the night to set off in the direction of Sanjiangyuan. All tactical teams dispersed and left first, and some were in the main force.

We will serve as scouts in the front, and some of them will rush to the source of Sanjiang to investigate the situation.

Looking at the troops flying away in a black mass, the four sect leaders looked up in the square of Taichu Tiangong. Zhong Lingxiu smiled and said: "This kid actually faked our order and directly took away the command authority of the inner disciples."

.”

"In extraordinary times, extraordinary people should do extraordinary things. If we let him lead the troops to fight, can we not give him the right to command? Even if he comes to us, he will still get it. Now he has used some tricks to settle those old gangsters.

, it can be seen that there are talented people from generation to generation. He is a "war genius", and I am becoming more and more optimistic about him." Qu Xingyang said with a smile. Ling Kongzi also stroked his beard and laughed.

Qingyangzi looked at the night sky with an expressionless face: "This battle is very important, because it is the battle after our hard work. Whether everything we have paid these days is worth it depends on the result of this battle.

.”

Three hours later, the large group of people stopped at the border between the Eternal Desert and Sanjiangyuan. The scouts in front found nothing, and the team that entered Sanjiangyuan early had not received any reply. The generals looked a little anxious, while Chu Xiao had a look on his face.

He calmly took out the communication jade pendant and contacted the Demon Emperor: "Senior, how is the situation now?"

"Little friend Chu Xiao, they have just surrounded my 'Ancient City'. It looks like there are tens of thousands of people. They will probably rush into the city after a while. When will you arrive?" The Demon King's tone was calm.

, but there was already a hint of anxiety in his words.

"Senior, don't worry. They are all cultivators. If they wanted to enter the city, they would have already entered. The city wall is of no use to them. The target of these people is not you. Most of them want to surround the area for reinforcements. Don't worry, let me

Let's take care of it." Chu Xiao wanted to laugh. The practitioners used military tactics and came up with the strategy of besieging the city for reinforcements. It was really stupid. Any general with some military knowledge would see that they were too deliberate. After a while

.The exploration team replied that in a canyon forty miles in front of the main force, nearly ten thousand people were ambushed. The leader was a "prison master" from the Demon Sect, which was equivalent to the level of a palace master from the Taichu Sect. In "Honghuang City"

"The siege city, with less than 10,000 people holding open fire, seems to have not been ready to attack the city. No enemy conditions were found in other directions.

"Yilan, do you choose 'annihilation' or 'reinforcement'?" Chu Xiao asked with a smile.

"You know me, I like to take the initiative." Yilan winked at Chu Xiao.

"Okay, you take the first division to the valley, and I'll take the second division to Honghuang City. You can take action in an hour." The conversation between the two was so "professional" that the four people in the command headquarters didn't listen at all.

Understand, I just understood that the two of them were going to separate their forces, but it was enough for them to understand this. After the order was issued, Chu Xiao led the headquarters and the second division in a large circle, heading towards the "Ancient City"

Flying in the direction. Yilan waited for a while before quietly approaching the valley with the first division.

Outside the valley, several secret sentries were lurking in the trees, watching the surroundings vigilantly. Several sword lights flashed past, and all the secret sentry's heads were cut off by flying swords. A team from the inner sect of the Sword God Sect appeared in front of the corpse.

Next to it, he quietly observed the situation in the valley. The leader of the team smiled and took out the communication jade pendant.
